Asian markets ended mostly higher on Friday. Chinese shares rose to hit a fresh one-month high after Beijing reportedly delivered a written response to US trade demands, raising hopes of a thaw in trade relations. However, anxiety around Brexit and conflicting reports about progress in US-China trade talks keeping investors nervous. Investors remained focused on the political turmoil in the UK after four ministers--including Brexit Minister Dominic Raab resigned in protest to Prime Minister Theresa May's draft Brexit agreement. Japanese shares ended lower as Nvidia's worse-than-expected earnings pulled down semiconductor-related stocks.
